Debugging the Sun Plug-in for IE and passing startup parameters

[Ed]

Is it possible to debug the Sun Plug-In JVM using development tools
such as Eclipse i.e. to start the JVM with the debug parameters and
then attach to it?

This leads to the second parameter, in IE how do you pass a start-up
parameter to the JVM or are you limited to the tools that come with
the plug-in (I hope not!).

Yes, you can.

Add them in the Java control panel (in Java 1.5.0b2, but I think in 1.4.x it is also possible).
See my answers in the "browser/applet hanging on close-down - how to debug" thread.
